Pompeo: US will help North Korea's economy if it forfeits nukes

It has been used for key summits in the past.

In 2015, Singapore hosted a historic meeting between Chinese president Xi Jinping and Taiwan's then-leader Ma Ying-jeou, the first between presidents of the two sides since a 1949 civil war split that led to decades of estrangement.

South Korean President Moon Jae-in has pushed for Panmunjom, one reason Trump considered it.

He urged North Korea to release six South Korean nationals, including three pastors, who are still being held. Pulling off a real deal with North Korea will require attributes Trump hasn't shown - ruthless preparation, extreme caution and skepticism, an eye for detail.

Severe starvation in North Korea in the 1990s took its toll on Jo's family.

A quick trip to Pyongyang was also seen as bad optics for Trump, US officials said. The other two were arrested after Trump's inauguration last spring amid rising tensions between Washington and Pyongyang. "The United States, and all of its GREAT people, should be very proud of what is now taking place in Korea!" he wrote. "He, likewise, has been incredibly helpful". "I think you probably broke the all-time in history television rating for 3 o'clock in the morning", he said.

He went on to emphasize instead, "I want to get it finished".

Seoul, which shuttled between Washington and Pyongyang to set up the Trump-Kim meeting, has said Kim has genuine interest in dealing away his nuclear weapons in return for economic benefits. "But we expect that to be announced here in the next few days".

It was the early leading choice among top administration officials, including Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and White House chief of staff John Kelly, who recognised that the summit location would play an important role in how the talks are viewed around the world, reportedCNN.

"We would like to express out deep appreciation to the United States government, President Trump, Secretary Pompeo, and the people of the United States for bringing us home".

Some experts suggest the summit on June 12th between Trump and Kim might provide a pivotal diplomatic opportunity to persuade North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons.

"The DPRK will, also in the future, promote close contacts and dialogue with the neighbouring countries and the global society so as to safeguard peace and stability on the Korean peninsula and over the globe", the North Korean foreign ministry statement carried by KCNA said Saturday.

Some observers are concerned that South Korea's desire to build peaceful ties with the North may distance it over time from the USA policy of seeking nuclear disarmament at any cost.

But despite the optimism of that moment, all efforts to limit North Korea's nuclear program have, to date, failed.
